ICTChris Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 Took the boy to Vogrie Country Park yesterday and they are having a public party next weekend. That's the first event like that I've seen advertised for the Jubilee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact Lizzie Windsor hasn’t dropped dead yet or the relative dearth of celebrations across my local area (and the west of Scotland generally)?

I would put mental health as more of a priority than an individual's beliefs on royalty or where ever their political choices are. What has this to do with someone publicly advertising an event based on celebrating the institution of monarchy? Have you any evidence this person has lost a loved one during the last two years? Have you any evidence that they are struggling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His disrespect is on a par with an occasion a few years back when we were playing Celtic on Armistice Sunday and a small section of their fans started booing during the minutes silence.

I have no idea what this person’s situation is - for all I know, they’re a well-loved part of the community. They’ve opted to open up their garden for people to come and sing and ensure the queen has a wonderful jubilee (although the details on how she’ll be affected by strangers singing old favourites in a garden in North Ayrshire isn’t made clear). The fact that they’ve publicly advertised this event suggests to me that they’re eager for others to come and join in - which strikes me as odd, sad, and desperately creepy. If it suggests to you that they’ve lost someone in the pandemic, fair play - but I don’t get that from their surreal exhortations to flag-waving jollity. I just get sadness expressed in an unsettling display (much as I would if a stranger publicly took out an ad in the paper inviting people to come and sing for the nobility in their garden).

Suspect Device Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 Excitement is really building in my area. That's a grand total of 4 houses I've seen decked out in bunting. Out of a population of about 3,500/4,000 that's not a lot. I'd have expected more in this Tory stronghold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GiGi Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 Why should Glasgow waste money on celebrating a taxpayer funded millionaire anyway? City's full of foodbanks and barely reliable refuse collection. To f**k with that. People can toast their inferiority in private if they want. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The majority of events in Glasgow appear to be church-related. I’m not religious but find this confusing - I thought Lizzie was head of the Church of England but NOT in Scotland; don’t they make play of her being just a regular member of the church? I could be off here as I don’t know the relationship, but it seems odd that it’s largely only a handful of churches that are rolling out the bunting to sing hymns and sermons praising Christ for providing a magic-blooded divine entity to reign over inferior peoples.
